Hey Clockmakers,
The wait is over: Hell Clock, our fast-paced roguelike Action RPG inspired by the darkest chapter in Brazil’s history, is officially launching on June 18!
We first teased this journey into hellish purgatory months ago, and your response to the demo has been overwhelming — 96% positive reviews and tons of great feedback that helped us push the game further. Now, it’s finally time to sharpen your blades, prep your builds, and get ready to face the demons of Canudos.
⚔️ Action Meets History
Hell Clock isn’t just another ARPG — it’s a supernatural reimagining of a real, brutal conflict: the War of Canudos (1896–1897). In our version, this battle wasn't only fought by mortals — it was a hidden war between celestial and infernal forces. You play as Pajeú, a former slave turned warrior, whose soul is trapped in a twisted purgatory. Time is fractured, and the only way out is to fight your way through Hell, again and again, until you break the cycle.
Made With Love, Identity, and History
Hell Clock is a deeply personal project for us. Not only does it explore a dark and often forgotten chapter of Brazil’s history, but we also poured our hearts into honoring the culture and identity of the Brazilian Northeast. We choosed voice actors from Bahia - Brazil, the region where the story takes place, and worked hard to reflect its regional elements through visuals, music, and narrative. We’re proud to see people from all over the world discovering this part of Brazil through our game — and we hope many more will come to know and appreciate it.
We’re incredibly grateful to our community for the support so far. If you haven’t already, join our Discord to chat with the devs, share your runs, and help us improve Hell Clock with your feedback and suggestions. We're always listening, and we’re building this game together with you. 💚
Thanks for your support, and see you in the depths of Hell.
